WeiXin Chong

WeiXin CHONG's (b.1988) work is drawn from fascination with the stylisation of natural elements, digital and organic memory systems and the relationship between surface and perceived superficiality. The artist sees these concerns as material metaphors for human social relationships and the psychology behind the structures and projections of power, value, and desire. Interactions of the digital and the organic and the effects and methods of reproducing and manipulating images across materials are core to her practice.

Chong lives and works in Singapore. She was recently an artist-in-residence at the Centre of Contemporary Art, Singapore (Aug-Nov 2015). She completed an MA in Fine Art, Printmaking at Royal College of Art, London. In 2015, Chong was also an artist-in-residence at Laboratori Artistici Nicoli and Studio Fitz-Carrara in Cararra, Italy. She has exhibited at START 2016 & START 2015 in Saatchi Gallery, London; The Third Print, TOTAL Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea and was a showcased artist at the Southeast Asian Platform at Art Stage Singapore 2015.
